Trouble shooting suggestions
When there is a problem with the ink jet on a CS327 it can be one or more of several problems. On a new
machine or one that has just been fitted with and ink jet interface problems mostly have to do with the
wiring. However, in testing the interface and wiring, if all the wiring checks out either the ARTOS
interface board or the Imaje industrial interface board may be bad. On older machines that have been
running the ink jet interface chances of a board failure does arise a bit more often and wiring issues have
to do more with loose or failed connections.
